Unable to configure OS X installation directory away from /Applications/Avogadro.app

Development

I sincerely hope this is a question that can easily be answered, but I cannot at all figure out how to change the final installation directory from /Applications/Avogadro.app to /Applications/MacPorts/Avogadro.app. I have tried multiple permutations on -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX= , yet nothing seems to change the final configuration from:

set(Avogadro_INSTALL_PREFIX “/Applications/Avogadro.app/Contents”)
set(Avogadro_INCLUDE_DIRS “/Applications/Avogadro.app/Contents/include”)
set(Avogadro_LIBRARY_DIRS “/Applications/Avogadro.app/Contents/lib”)
set(Avogadro_LIB_SUFFIX “”)
set(Avogadro_PLUGIN_DIR “/Applications/Avogadro.app/Contents/lib/avogadro/1_1”)
set(Avogadro_BIN_DIRS “/Applications/Avogadro.app/Contents/bin")

To be specific, I need to be able to do something like -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX={destroot}{applications_dir}

I appreciate your attention to this matter.

On the Mac we ended up hard wiring more than we perhaps should have to
make the default case work. I am not sure you can easily modify this
without modifying some of the CMake code, it is indeed a bug in the
way we wrote out CMakeLists.txt file. I have a lot of that figured out
now in newer build systems. I will see if I can find time to go back
and apply it to Avogadro 1, but I am not sure when I will have time.
